Digital Compositor / 3D Animator
Project - Salvation Boulevard Client - The Molecule Programs Used - Nuke What I did - In this feature, this sequence needed to look more hazardous. Using a lores layout, I tracked and color corrected the fire and smoke elements as well as grading the plate.	Project - Royal Pains: ep 215 Client - USA Network Programs Used - Nuke What I did - Made at The Molecule, the buildings and pool were comped into this 657 frame sequence using a supplied matchmove and render. Roto and color correct were done by me as well.
Project - Royal Pains: ep 217 Client - USA Network Programs Used - Nuke What I did - Using Nukes 3D tracker and camera, I comped in and regrained clean patches over the LED date, network logos and names. As well as removing and replacing the ticker using a color correct and 3D camera.	Project - Royal Pains: ep 216 Client - USA Network Programs Used - Nuke What I did - For this episode I handled all the driving comps - 27 shots. The green spill was so intense that the plates needed to be degrained just to color correct it.
Project - Elizabeth and the Catapult Client - Elizabeth and the Catapult Programs Used - Nuke What I did - Made at The Molecule, this was for a music video. The puppeteers were removed using a clean plate tracked in and the puppet rotoed back in. This proved useful during the camera move where there was extreme motion blur. The rolling shutter was manually corrected.	Project - Subway - FebruANY Client - Subway Programs Used - Nuke What I did - Created at Brand New School. I imported a Maya supplied camera and environment to create each of the hero boxes and comped using Nukes 3D. This shot was never intended to have this BG, so the character need to be rotoed and keyed off a black screen.
Project - Aliens in the Attic Client - 20th Century Fox Programs Used - Shake What I did - Done at CIS Vancouver, wires and rigs were removed for multiple shots. In this shot, a clean plate had to be created and the main characters sleeve and shirt were replaced. Also comped a 3D matchmoved floor that I was supplied.	Project - Spongebob’s Truth or Square Client - Nickelodeon Programs Used - SynthEyes, Maya, After Effects What I did - Made at Redhead, the footage was matchmoved, manually at times, and imported into Maya. Later comped with AE.
Project - Zombie Prom Client - Illusions of Grandeur FX Programs Used - After Effects What I did - For this short film, I handled the bulk of the vfx comps - over 3 dozen shots including the open and all screen burn-ins. The footage was in color and I treated it to look like an old TV without the use of special plug-ins.	Project - Orion Slave Girls Must Die!!! Client - Eric Kallevig Programs Used - After Effects, 3DS Max What I did - For this short film, I was the lead compositor. I handled the entire opening sequence, 42 shots, including creating the 3D animation and wire removal over sand. It also needed a basic TV look so I added res lines and RGB separation.
Project - Histoire Client - CA Square Programs Used - Maya, After Effects What I did - Designed and created at CA Square, particles were generated in Maya using scripts and expressions, and comped in AE. Of the 16 spots, 10 were completely different particle animations.	Project - The Lizzie McGuire Movie Client - Disney Programs Used - Animo, After Effects What I did - Made at Tapehouse Toons, as Digital Supervisor, I created all color models, comped all animated scenes first using using Animo, then After Effects where I added drop shadows, reflections, grain and color correct on a live action BG.
